Thank you for playing!

In my group, I have 2 more games to play with Shadow Warior and WiZarDX_576. The first one I asked more then 6 times when we will play and still have no answer, due to him being busy. The second one I haven't seen him active in ICQ.
Gents, please give me your answer when we will play! I have only 3 days left and then will have a break(until 9th January), due to the upcoming customs/fiesta!!!

i've written in this topic before, i am on a business trip right now and coming back next week. Sorry, my bad, didn't have a chance to inform You personally.
well, i guess we could play only when You come back after a break. it shouldn't be a problem for me.
have a good time and Mery Cristmas !

I'd like to play a match.

Thanks for the game!

It was fun, no rests, giving out resources without roads and blue mana. In general, I played until the very end, and there were chances. But I didn't manage to force events successfully and broke into an unexplored zone without a resource boost for 3 weeks. And that's why I was punished with a 3-week resource boost from the other side. In the end, I bought my way out, kept fighting, and we both made it to the treasure, but I was already without castles and weaker in terms of power.

Thanks for the game!!!

We played a hundred years ago, the opponent was supposed to post, but I never got it.
Thanks for the game.

That did happen. The random spawn was decent, both Dragon Utopias and Dragon Fly Hives were present. Got too carried away with exploration - just stupidly walked along the path, collecting skeletons.

The opponent's scout hero jumped out from one side - cut down Vidomina. Sent Charna with a brigade there - Eislina jumped out, almost the same number of skeletons + 17 vives and an angel. Barely managed to buy him off, but the opponent found the passage too quickly. Result based on the game.
Thanks for the game!

PS The only thing I didn't understand is why, with random necromancer hero distribution, Gosh is in the starting slots and not in the tavern - is this a restart at one's own expense??

P.S. I didn't understand one thing: why, when heroes are randomly assigned to Necropolis, Gosh is in the starting lineup and not in the tavern – is this a restriction that players have to deal with themselves?

What makes you say that?

What makes you say that?

One of my opponents told me that when playing as Necropolis and using a random map, if Gosh appears on the starting tile instead of in the tavern, it's considered a "restart at your own expense."

I couldn't find anything about this in the rules, and I don't see the logic behind it. I also don't understand what the difference is between Gosh appearing in the tavern and Gosh appearing on the starting tile during a random map generation.
But I would like to know more precisely.

It doesn't seem like there should be any restart. The point of choosing a random hero is only to increase the chance of getting a good artifact.

One of my opponents told me that if you're playing as Necropolis and you get a random hero at the start of the game instead of in the tavern, it's considered a restart at your own expense.

I couldn't find anything about this in the rules, and I don't see the logic behind it. I also don't understand how a hero in the tavern differs from a hero at the start with a random distribution.
But I would like to know more precisely.

It's worth waiting for clarification from the judges, but something tells me that you were tricked, because I'm hearing about this for the first time, and it contradicts common sense.

P.S. I just didn't understand one thing: why, when heroes are randomly assigned, Galthran is in the starting lineup and not in the tavern – is this a rest at your own expense?

Not so long ago, someone messaged me on ICQ with the same question. I thought it was obvious that if Galthran comes as a starting hero, you can play with him without restrictions. It turned out that it wasn't obvious to everyone. Let me explain. The rules state that Galthran cannot be chosen, but if the hero is chosen randomly, we are not violating the rules because we didn't choose him.

P.S. As for the fact that it's a rest at your own expense, that's just outrageous. I understand that it could have been thought of as a technical rest, but to have it at your own expense... Maybe it's been that way all along? :D

Classic Toganash ))) Bravo!

That's nonsense – you've been tricked. Taking time off and paying for it yourself, and you fell for it :D

Found a bunch of Dragon Utopia-КВ, a teapot, wings and many other things in 2 copies, stats around 40, only missing a sword for the alliance; searched for КЗ in the utopias for a long time, but found it next to the Dragon Utopia behind the golems :D , saw oppa-Town Portal, Dimension Door, in FB I have all magic and stats more than 4 times higher, so 1500 blue bones didn't matter at all.
Thanks for the game.

In the first generation, the opponent unexpectedly took a restart on day three, when I had a large, rich respawn but no interesting objects.
As a result, we played the second one, because the spawn was good for me. On day 111 – two Griffin Conservatories along the roads, two Dragon Fly Hives a bit deeper, the respawn was small, but there was enough gold for expansion. I moved to the Rampart respawn – there was a stable and a lookout tower, revealing a nearby Castle, treasure chests, and external dwellings of elves and centaurs.
On my first turn, the computer stayed in the Castle, but bought a secondary hero and built elves. I upgraded the Troglodytes, broke through the defense with almost no losses using Enian. 8 heroes, 90 Skeletons, two of their unclaimed external dwellings – all good.
Day 113 – I gather external dwellings, break through to the Castle's respawn, and grab a piece of Sulfur there!
Day 114 – I build Liches, go through the Blue Gremlins to the computer's Dungeon, kill its main army.
Day 115 – I take the Dungeon, the second computer is defeated.
Day 116 – The last computer unexpectedly breaks through the archer block behind the obelisk, sends Tamika to the tavern, and comes to rush me. I pass the army, cut down the insolent one, and go on the attack myself.
Day 117 – I successfully sit in the Castle on the last hexes; there are Swordsmen with Griffins in the Citadel. At home – Knights in the Citadel. Clavius runs to the Rampart to learn Haste, there's a stable nearby, and the Griffin Conservatories are not far.
Day 121 – I move towards the first double Griffin Conservatory. While gathering the army, I recapture gold near the Castle, raise Skeletons. Galtran appears in the tavern – 54 Skeletons won't hurt.
Day 122 – Everything gathered, I take two Angels with minor losses, then three more. Total – 5 Knights, 5 Angels, 300 Skeletons.
Day 123 – I give the Angels to Galtran to take the Dragon Fly Hives near the capital; Clavius runs into the treasure zone. +6 Wyverns.
Day 124 – I enter the treasure zone, and there… a Tome of Air right at the entrance behind 100+ Demons. Galtran grabs another 6 Wyverns.
Day 125 – I transfer the Angels to the treasure zone (even though there are already 400 Skeletons, it would be hard to fight the Demons without magic (mana ran out)). I take the book, dismiss to the Dungeon, double the mana, dismiss home, and plan a rush. Meanwhile, Tamika picked up the army and took another 6 Dragon Fly Hives.
Day 126 – I jump over the mountains, grab the Barbarian capital. The opponent's spawn wasn't very good; there was no point in playing further – you can't advance against a bunch of troops with control sessions, having nothing yourself.
Thank you for the game!

It's a blatant scam :D
There's no restart, and certainly not at your own expense.
